Lauryn Hill wegen Betrugs und Vertragsbruchs durch Fugees-Mitbegründer Pras Michel verklagt

> In a scathing lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court — Southern District of New York, Michél alleges that Hill grossly mismanaged the setup, marketing and budgeting of their scuttled 2023 tour, which “was actually a veiled and devious attempt to make a big score for herself,” the complaint states, adding that the singer then secretly siphon off money from the tour guarantees. The full list of claims include fraud, fraud in the inducement, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, accounting and refusal to permit an audit of the Fugees’ tour.

> The suit claims that the 2023 Fugees tour “would have been a huge commercial success, since most of shows for the entire arena size tour were sold out in advance.” However, Michél came away empty-handed because Hill controlled the tour budget “that was so bloated with unnecessary and, most likely fictitious, expenses, that it seemed designed to lose money.” Furthermore, the tour was cut short when Hill abruptly and unilaterally cancelled the second half of the tour in November 2023, citing “serious vocal strain.”

> “Hill’s arrogance was again demonstrated when she unilaterally rejected a $5 Million offer [to play Coachella]. The reason was that her ego was bruised since the group No Doubt would be receiving top billing over The Fugees the night of their show,” the complaints says. “Hill never told Pras about the offer or that she had was rejected it. Pras only learned about it when it was too late, after Hill, in an astonishing display of hubris, asked Pras if he would agree to perform a few Fugees songs for free as the opening act for her son, ‘YG’ Marley, who was slated to perform at the same Coachella festival.”

She could’ve had such a long and successful career. But after winning all those Grammys she just unravelled.

It’s always Fugees and Funyuns.

One less Hill to climb.

We still have One Tree, Cypress, Silent, The Hills Have Eyes, Hamburger, Heartbreak, Marian, Strawberry, Hill Street Blues, Notting, Faith, Jonah, The Haunting of Hill House, and King of the Hill.

She turned down $5m at Coachella because No Doubt was top bill and she didn’t tell the band. Lord, this woman.

So what does this mean for future Fugees reunion tours?

/s

This is so sad. So much talent wasted.

Wasn’t Pras revealed to be a CIA agent?

The best rapper on *The Score* is Rah Digga. I will die on this hill.

Can I sue her for showing up like 3 hours late to the performance that I paid for?

Everything might indeed be everything but this woman is a scammer lmao. They all are, it’s hilarious.
